Our Galapagos Story

In the early 2000s, options for luxury land-based tours in the Galapagos were notably limited. If you sought comfort, a cruise was your only option. Even then, the cruise experience paled in comparison to the personalized, immersive experiences that discerning travelers could enjoy in other wildlife destinations and national parks around the world. Notably, in Africa, where Michael and Stephanie had been on safari. They were enchanted by the untamed wilderness and the romantic spirit of adventure, reminiscent of the timeless allure depicted in the film, Out of Africa.

Giant tortoises have evolved over centuries to adapt to their surroundings. Similarly, Galapagos Safari Camp has adapted over the decades to an ever-evolving travel industry.

As a registered tour operator in Ecuador, we also offer Safari extension tours across the mainland and/or can take care of all your accommodation and transport needs when transiting through Quito or Guayaquil to the Galapagos Islands.

As a small business, we are mindful of every step we take, ensuring we never lose sight of our core values, vision and goals.

Now that Michael and Stephanie’s children are older, and have their own evolving needs, the family is no longer based at the camp. However, the founders remain very hands-on, continuing to oversee every aspect of the business. They are also very proud of their team, both at camp and HQ in Quito, who are frequently praised in guest reviews and press articles.
